I found a work-around to this problem: 1) i edited /etc/esd.conf 2) and added "-r 48000" in the spawn options As a result, all output is 48khz so esd will never do any downsampling, thus will not lower the volume. Its not a real solution though, since downsampling shouldnt affect the volume, so the bug is still there. No answer. closing. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Description of problem: I've noticed that when i play some types of audio or viode files, the generated volume is very low. I searched around and i think the problem is with ESD when the original stream frequency is converted. For example, in mplayer when i see this: Building audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit -> 44100Hz/2ch/16bit... The resulting audio has an extremely low volume. When i change the mplayer configuration to use the SDL filtering as the audio device, then audio plays fine without any loss in volume. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): esound-0.2.31-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find an audio stream which requires filtering (48khz to 44khz) 2. Play with mplayer via esd 3. Play with mplayer via SDL Actual Results: Via esd the audio volume is very low. Via SDL/ALSA the audio volume is normal. Expected Results: Volume should be consistent.
